When he's fit and firing like he was in 13/14 the only players in that list I'd take over him are Lewa and Suarez.

Besides Muller, none of those guys are anywhere close to Sturridge on top form.

Fit Sturridge vs fit Kane? cmon man...

Re-watch his goals from 13/14, Kane couldn't dream of scoring some of those goals.

I definitely think he's second only to Aguero in the EPL, when all are fit, in terms of ability..

That said, I'd take Dybala any day of the week... He's going to be in that Aguero class of striker..

Lets talk about Ojo -

I'm hoping to see him a decent bit the rest of the year - especially if, as we hope, we have a Euro cup game pretty much every mid week from here on out. He can and should be playing some EPL games - even if its as a super sub.

For next year, I think he has shown the physical tools necessary to be a super sub type of guy. Come in when the defense is tired and put them under extreme pressure. Maybe get a 10 or so starts throughout the year.

While I still think we probably need a winger via a transfer, with Markovic coming back, Ojo in, and possibly Ibe getting a bit on track, we have a few options. It will be interesting to see where Klopp priortizes our transfer budget.

Ojo looks promising... In the past, I'd say he needs a loan season, because I don't know how much actual game time he'll get here... But Klopp doesn't really like to loan out players..

Lots of talk about Ibe being unhappy... I hope he puts his head down and works hard to get back in contention..

Markovic is the interesting one for me.. I really like him and followed him before he signed. I was excited to get him. I hate that he was loaned this season (and played as a RWB last)... I kind of have some question marks if he's suited for the EPL... but I want to see what Klopp can do for him..

Yea you could really see his potential in spurts, but it sucks that I feel like his last 2 years were pretty much wasted and didn't give him a chance to develop as a 20 year old. He was just thought to jump straight in and when he didn't meet those expectations, he was left behind.

I'm skeptical of him fitting Klopp's system or how well he'd work, but I'd hate to sell him right away because I get a feeling that after he gets a couple of seasons of regular game time, he's gonna really excel.

I still think his best position is as a second striker... but with his pace, could do a job on the wing... IMO he is best suited for counter attacking...

Here's my problem - he could work well centrally, but likely not as well as about 3 other guys. So the chances of him getting game time to build and grow into the system are low.

He has the pace to be the outside/Reus kind of guy. I think there is a chance he could excel here. But I also don't think he's shows to be as good outside as you would want or hope. Klopp may be able to perform some magic though.

He's played the majority of his career in the 10. But I agree, especially with the amount of 10s we have, he'd be ideal as someone who plays just off the 9.

I'm rock hard.

4-3 reds would be ideal. Hat trick from Pulisic of course

Origi has to start considering his form, right?

I may be in the minority, but I don't want them/him scoring at all... He can all he wants after today..

As long as we advance and stay healthy IDGAF what Dortmund does. I want to see a baby yank filling up nets in Europe

Just not on a set piece. If we give up another goal on a set piece I'm going to lose my mind
